The Funny Lyrics: I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Why They're Funny: At first I thought the words were 'I'm waving my heart like a clown', and I knew that couldn't be right, so I looked up the words, but they still don't make much sense. How can you wear your heart like a crown anyway?

Gives you a hard time, won't let you go, Cause love (love) love won't leave you alone... Why They're Misrhymed: 'Pastime' and 'heartline' do *not* rhyme, even with Freddie's accent! And 'go' and 'alone' are even a more pathetic attempt...

"Extraordinary + Mysterious Past"
Freddie Mercury (real name "Farrokh Bulsara") was the lead singer of Queen. He was an ethnic Parsi who had grown up in India and Zanzibar. When he was 17 he along with his family emigrated to the UK to escape political and ethnic violence as British colonial power in the island was weakening and a revolution was brewing there fast. The Bulsara family moved into a house in the Feltham neighborhood in London - only a few hundred yards away from where a fellow student and future astrophysicist named Brian May lived. As Paul Harvey used to say on the radio, "and now you know the rest of the story".
